Bristol discount restaurant app Wriggle has ceased trading for good, its founder has confirmed. The once-popular app curated deals from eateries around the city and at its height operated in seven UK cities and was downloaded more than 400,000 times.
But the company “never recovered” from the shock of the three Covid locadowns - despite trying to relaunch - according to boss Rob Hall.
“After each lockdown, we tried to return - but too much momentum was lost, and there was so much pent-up demand for dining out post-pandemic (and red tape around dining restrictions with the rule of six) that our restaurant partners didn't come back to Wriggle at sufficient speed,” he told Bristol Live.
